Hogs coach's previous relationship built years ago still remembered today by SEC foe
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.– Touted as an elite recruiter throughout his career at various stops, whether that be Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas or Georgia, the cold beer drinking Sam Pittman is loved by all.
"Oh, he's just great, great communicator," Mays said. "You know, I could sit on the phone or sit down with Coach Pittman and talk for hours. So, just great recruiter and great guy. I love Coach Pittman!" His highest rated signee was Jamaree Salyer, a massive road grader at guard in the 2018 class. As an assistant coach with the Razorbacks, Pittman signed 13 prospects rated 4-star or higher from 2013-16, something sorely missing from the program once he left for Georgia.
"I love Coach Pittman," Mays said. "So excited to see him again, but should be a really good environment for us. It's been a while since I played there."
